PPPL develops framework for unifying tokamak ML control models
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory announced that researchers at the lab, in collaboration with Princeton University, have developed a general algorithm for prediction and control in tokamak systems and have tested it at DIII-D, as presented in a recent Nuclear Fusion paper.
According to the paper, most machine learning (ML)–based tools for use in fusion machines have been implemented as stand-alone demonstrations, aiming to predict the plasma profile, suppress a form of instability, for example. PPPL’s project provides a framework that aims to accommodate these disparate models into an integrated system, which the team calls PACMAN (Prediction and Control Using Machine Learning).
Since the magazine accepted its first advertising in 1960, nearly 40,000 ad pages have been purchased. Join the hundreds of nuclear-related vendors and organizations who make our magazine part of their annual business development strategy.
The magazine reports on the latest developments in the nuclear community, a large part of which concerns nuclear energy – in particular, the hundreds of units that are in operation or forthcoming around the world. Articles discuss plant operations, maintenance and security; policy and legislation; international developments; waste management and fuel; and business and contract award news. Also covered are research and nonpower applications of nuclear science and technology, including nuclear medicine, food irradiation, and space nuclear applications. In addition, the popular ANS News, which contains information for and about ANS members, has been incorporated into the monthly magazine.
